I am a subscriber of Corporal Corner, Coalcracker Bushcraft, and Grey Bearded Green Beret and I enjoy their videos.

[@tendraftsdeep]

I stopped watching Corporals Corner months ago because instead of just providing content, he was complaining about how many views he was or wasn't getting and basically demeaned his audience

[@Lone_Painter]

I don't know what others think but to me bushcraft is about finding peace and gaining sanity in a world that has neither.

[@outdoorsforachange]

I don't think any of those guys are training us for shtf. Instead they are teaching us how to challenge ourselves in the woods. Big difference.

[@paultiki9968]

Sorry, but every video from Corporals corner and from Coalcracker they never imply that any of this is instant. Only that it is possible and it takes hard work. They do talk about not absolutely relying on just one method for whatever. Example, for fire, Shawn frequently says his go to is a simple bic lighter. The other stuff he demonstrates in case you lose your bic lighter, because you need backups. two is one and one is none.

I don't know Sean or Josh, but I know Dan. I've been to his school. In fact, I'll be there this weekend. One of the things I like about Dan is that he's not married to just the traditional way to do things. I took his Modern Bushcraft course last year, and not only did he and his team do some traditional stuff, but they also did modern things like teach Dyneema rope splicing, etc. The way I look at bushcraft is that it's just another tool for my toolbox. It gives me options should the need arise. A bow drill will never be my primary method for starting a fire, but it sure is nice to know that I can do it if push comes to shove.

Comment is just on title alone. What’s wrong with bushcrafters ? The gear is too heavy.

[@usrakeforce3825]

Sean Kelly complaining about the algorithm in every video is annoying.

[@runner4754]

I think the Bushcrafters he mentions are phenomenal. Sean Kelly promotes practicing these skills all of the time. He is not unrealistic and speaks on perseverance. You cannot get much more real than these guys. They've honed their skills and speak on your go to stuff realistically and really well. Bow drill demonstrations are great and no one ever said it was going to be easy. If you have a lazy mindset and you are expecting instant gratification then Bushcrafting at their level or any level is not for you.

I feel that you shouldn’t try to confuse bushcraft survival with emergency survival. Although they have similar techniques, they can be drastically different. At some point common sense has to step in and say. “Let me go ahead and establish SHTF emergency skills just in case.” Lighters, food, water, shelter. Then you can study your bushcraft skills to become more self reliant/sufficient. It’s good to have both skills but you have to understand the difference. SHTF readiness is more important to have first imo. And yes, the algorithm is really choke slamming Sean. It’s effecting his livelihood. He’s been doing survival skills for years and it’s not really effecting anyone else like him as far as I know. I just hope he can work it out. Being a veteran myself, I love his channel. I can relate more to him.

[@Gunn4u]

Just because I own every wrench , socket , and screwdriver known to man does not make me a mechanic. Its up to us to use the tools we have and practice , practice, practice.

[@skitz1337]

Makes total sense. Sean always says “Bic lighter. First time, every time.” These guys aren’t lost on the fact that in a SHTF situation, they won’t be making a bow drill. They keep 3 lighters on ‘em all the time. They simply enjoy the field and the craft. However, I don’t recall any of them explicitly saying “don’t go out un-practiced and put yourself in dangerous situations thinking you can do these things first try”. I’m sure they think it goes without saying and that their audience is intelligent enough to know better. That being said kids these days have unrealistic expectations when it comes to learning anything new.

1.)Disinfecting water, not purifying.

[@arctodussimus6198]

I remember when we just called it camping 😉

[@jeffrdnck7973]

Buschcraft is meant to be fun, relaxing and a comfortable way to improve one’s skill set.

[@johneville_bastard]

Listening to this dude talk is like listening to a guy that’s mad he had to bring his vehicle into a shop for work he couldn’t do, then got mad he had to pay full price for the labor when he went to pick it up. All the while saying he coulda done it for less if he had the time but he’s just too busy to be bothered.

[@fsu1186]

Hey Stoker…really respect you and appreciate all you do…I can tell you Shawn Kelly is the real deal….I was blessed to be able to attend the Self Reliance Outfitter Basic Training class and it was awesome…nothing glamorous about it at all, in fact it was just the opposite…I learned to push myself way beyond my comfort zone…learned to live and navigate in the woods for 72 hrs. Was wet most of the time. I took a lot of the skills I learned from Shawn to that experience and it helped me a ton….! HE is the real deal!!! Promise!

[@MorticiaAddams23]

Honestly I'd be happy to find any of those guys you mentioned out in the woods. They'd keep me alive, safe, warm, fed, and out of harm's way. Their survival skills will always be helpful regardless if they're out in the woods or not, as are yours. Knowledge is power as we know. Learn from everyone and keep what works for you. 👍

[@miguelcastillo545]

I don't know Shawn Kelly personally but I've been a subscriber to his channel since the beginning alot of his recent videos are shorter then before because he use to show every single detail and explain everything. And he's pretty good at interacting with his subscribers. He responds back every time I messege him and he's even taken some of my suggestions/ideas and applied them to his videos the following week which was really cool of him. He's the real deal!

[@antoniosantiago2770]

IMO Sean and Josh and Canterbury know their stuff beyond the Bushcraft scene and I also have regards for Coalcracker..They do what they can as this is a business also however they show us for free to the point I can go out and do allot of the techniques they show for free here on KZbin and I couldn't afford.. so I love them all honestly and respect what they teach us.. but I know there is more to it and Josh is showing it in his channel by giving you theory which is great when accompanied by hands on. May the force be with them all lol.. KZbin gives them what they need and they do the same for us..
